We investigate, by using molecular dynamics simulations, the effect of curvature on the interfacial properties of pure water and  water-alcohol solutions. For the pure water case we can calculate the Tolman length, which characterizes the dependence of surface tension on curvature, using different methods, while in the case of solutions, we show that curvature affects also the adsoprtion propetries. We interpret these results as an effect of Tolman length.
